Epilepsy is a chronic disease of the brain characterized by seizures. The currently available anticonvulsants only treat symptoms with serious adverse drug reactions. Therefore, there is need for new therapeutic intervention that will prevent epilept...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Rongchang capsule and Xifeng capsule on pentylenetetrazole- induced epilepsy in zebrafish larvae and to explore the possible mechanisms behind their actions.
BACKGROUND: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition, with over 30% of cases unresponsive to treatment. Zebrafish larvae show great potential to serve as an animal model of epilepsy in drug discovery. Thanks to their high fecundity and relatively...
Technologies for mapping the spatial and temporal patterns of neural activity have advanced our understanding of brain function in both health and disease. An important application of these technologies is the discovery of next-generation neurotherap...
Epilepsy, a neurological disorder causing recurring seizures, is often studied in zebrafish by exposing animals to pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), which induces clonic- and tonic-like behaviors. While adult zebrafish seizure-like behaviors are well characte...
Identifying new anti-seizure medications (ASMs) is difficult due to limitations in animal-based assays. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) serve as a model for chemical and genetic seizures, but current methods for detecting anti-seizure responses are limited b...
